WHO WE ARE

Bene Agere is a management-consulting firm founded in 2005 in Oslo, Norway, and we have had an exciting journey thus far. We currently have four offices in Oslo, Barcelona, Madrid and Chicago, more than 40 employees, and several 100 functional- and industry experts in our network.

Bene Agere is different from most other management consultancies in how we work together with our client organisations, allowing them to be a part of the whole transformation process from beginning to end. This not only ensures mobilization and ownership for the change needed, it leaves a competent organisation with change capacity even when our consultants pull out after the project is done.

Bene Agere is not limited by industry or functional specialisation; instead, we have a method-based approach that is proven to work across industry and functional boundaries. We have done engagements within finance and banking, high-tech, industrial manufacturing, defence, maritime, process industries, telecom, agriculture, building and ventilation, tourism, retail and wholesale, to mention a few. For more specific cases, please see our case stories.

Our methods are built on long time experience from our senior partners, and is a compilation of true-and-tested best practices as well built on deep insight of what really works. Bene Agere was founded to be different, do things differently and achieve what others cannot, working together towards a common goal.

We leave organisations stronger with the ability to drive continuous transformation on their own

Together we master the future

The only constant is change. Every day the world is changing and new opportunities and threats emerge in business. We firmly believe that in order to stay competitive, firms need to interpret and synthesize these changes in order to set specific, ambitious objectives that enable them to act and stay ahead of the market.

We know that change is needed, but also that it is very hard to achieve for most organizations. It is a balance act between renewal and improvement, between the past and the future. Bene Agere works together with ambitious leaders to enable firms to master the challenges of the future.

Bene Agere et Laetari

Our mission and founding philosophy, “Bene Agere et Laetari”, which translates to “Do good, joyfully” is pervasive for our approach to management consulting. It is the reason we exist, and our mission as a firm:

Bene Agere – Do good: We lift our clients ambitions beyond what they believe is possible, and deliver substantial, quantifiable result improvements

et Laetari – Joyfully: We deliver results through the employees of our client’s organisation, we make them the heroes and instil motivation and competence for continuous transformation

Weare not the type of consultants that deliver a report and expect our client to implement the changes themselves. Our speciality lies in our expertise in implementation and involvement of our client’s employees, which ensures knowledge transfer and high degree of ownership and motivation.
